Lost Wedding Band...WWYD?
| Mon, 01-12-2004 - 1:30pm |
Hey Ladies! WWYD? My hubby went surfing the other day and his wedding band slipped off of his finger into the Pacific Ocean. We have been married for over 15 years, so that band was pretty much a part of his body. He is more upset about it than I am. I guess we will get him another band at some point, but now that the one and only original is lost forever, it just doesn't seem *that* important to replace it. We have a very solid union, and that is what matters most. So...my questions are: does your DH wear a wedding band? If he were to lose it, would you replace it right away? How important is it to *you* that he has a band around his finger?
Thanks! emi :)

well my dh no longer wears one,, he was at work one day and he was busy working and heard this sizzling sound, looked down and litterly saw red hot burning on his finger,, he was working with a battery and his band acted like the conduster and fried his finger, he had 3rd degree burns and now has a peranment ring around his finger. That ring was lost cause when he pulled it off with his other fingers he burnt those and the ring went flying, he ran to find cold water. Luckliy that was his work band and he still has the one that we got married in. It has been 2 years and he can just get to where he can wear it on one night out,, that's it!
So like you said you know the bond is there but I like the idea of getting him one for Valentines,,, GL,,

We went out and bought another, not to show that he is married, but just because I guess. We have only been married 5 years, so we were able to get the same one.
I think it is up to you two and why you think you should or should not get another.

Your DH obviously thinks it's important to him, so I think for that reason alone, it should be replaced. Valentine's Day would be a sweet day to give him a new one, but he might like picking out his own. I know guys don't usually make a big deal out of a particular ring, but I think some care more about it, but just don't express it. Maybe there is some way you can do both? Get it for him on Valentine's Day, but let him pick it out? Just a thought

Coincidentally, we had to have mine cut off yesterday. With all the cold weather and the hand washing I've been doing to keep from giving Luke my sinus infection, my skin is very raw and cracked, to the point where my ring finger swelled up much bigger than it ever got when I was pg. And since the skin underneath was so raw already, getting it cut off hurt like heck! I was in tears the whole time, in so much physical pain I didn't have any emotion left to be sad about getting my ring cut off. We'll get it fixed when my finger is healed and back to its normal size.
